9.5 front 10.5 rear on e90 lci?

Hey, guys, my current setup is 8.5&9.5 19" Miro 111s et 35&33. I am thinking of putting rears in the front and getting 10.5 for the rears. Is that possible? What offset should I get and what tire size? Will my current 9.5 be ok in the front? Thank you!

Yes, do some research. It's been done and documented.

I wouldn't personally recommend sizing that aggressive, but I have seen 19x9.5 ET33 done up front before.

Those wheel specs are pretty aggressive in general. It could possibly rub on the fenders and whatnot.

What is the offset and tire size should I be looking for the rear?

Will I need a spacer for the front to clear the shock?

Not because I want him to buy VMRs, just trying to be helpful. I'm sure it can be done, but some people aren't as willing to do the work to make them fit as they think.

What do you mean you're sure it can be done... spend any time around here and you'll know that people have run far more aggressive than the OP's specs. It's easily done.
